MEET YOUR MENTOR: JOE SOLO

Joe Solo is the 23-year LA Record Producer who developed Macy Gray (She has sold over 17 million records.) Joe’s credits include Michael Jackson, Fergie, will i. am, Quincy Jones, Universal, Sony, Apple, Interscope, Atlantic, sand many others, and is founder of the Music Success Workshop and CEO of Joe Solo Music+Entertainment, Inc.

“Our goal in this Retreat,” says Joe, “is have you chart your own personal path to a successful life in music. You’ll leave the Retreat with an in-depth understanding of the Music Industry and how you can apply your unique creativity to your own music within the realities of your life situation.

“You’ll learn how to relate to, understand, and work with others so you’ll write better songs and have better recordings. You’ll learn the importance of good production. If you wish, you’ll have a chance to hear your material played with candid feedback from both the audience and me to enhance your creativity. I’ll give you EVERYTHING I got and I’ll answer all your questions.”

“I’m not sure this Workshop is right for me”

OUR 100% GUARANTEE FOR YOU:

If this event is not insanely helpful to you — then we don’t want to keep your money. So here’s the deal:

If you are on the fence, enroll now anyway and attend the full Saturday morning session.

Then if you feel that the Retreat is not going to be worth the price you paid, just let us know at our Saturday lunch break and we’ll issue a full refund to your credit card on the spot … but we will ask that you leave the premises immediately.

You don’t have to give us any reason; just tell us it’s not for you. Fair enough?

This retreat is a WORKSHOP – not a seminar:

This is not someone just speaking from a platform while you take notes. Rather, it’s a cooperative event with Joe leading the charge. It’ll be fun and entertaining, too.

Expect lots of audience involvement and conversations back and forth, including discussion of current industry issues and strategies. Attendees become life-long members of each other’s trusted music network.

This is an experience you’ll never get from a lecture, an online webinar or a book.

You’ll leave with a new level of confidence and feel more inspired than ever before.

SONG EVALUATIONS – On The Spot:

Get your song played and evaluated (optional)
You’ll hear first hand where the strong spots are, how improvements could be made, and – even while listening to other’s material – you will learn how to apply these techniques to your own music and lyrics. You’ll learn how to embrace audience feedback.

So bring your music on cd, jump drive, mobile phone, or even bring your favorite instrument and sing live! Each of our 30 attendees gets a chance to strut their stuff.

This is one of the highlights of the Music Success Retreat because it not only helps everyone improve their music, it’s also a great way for Joe to discover new talent.
